than in bomeensis, the apical spot itself broader, adorned with somewhat larger wedge-spots. Not rare at 
about 1000 m. in the Padang Bovenlanden and in North-East Sumatra. $$ are rarely brought to Europe. 
Flies principally in May, also March to August. — bomeensis Wall. (70 d) is the most extended black race, 
and its $$ are much sought after as rarities. North and South Borneo. — aturia subsp. nov. is inter¬ 
mediate between continental and Sumatran specimens and differs from examples from Anterior and Further 
India in the more extended black distal colouring of the forewing and the darker red apical spot with 
more intensively violet sheen, the red colour of which reaches much further into the cell of the forewing. 
The black sub marginal wedges on both wings larger, under surface darker. From Singapore to Tenasserim, 
where it passes gradually into glaucippe. — javanensis Wall., a well defined island race, relatively small, 
wing-contour more rounded than in eastern and western allied forms. Distal margin broadly and sharply 
black, apical spot as in aturia extending far into the cell, submarginal patches of the hindwing in the $$ 
very small. The species is common in East and West Java. Scarcely ascends above 3000 ft.; the 
are less rare than continental and especially than those from Sumatra and Borneo. Bah. -— On 
Kangean flies a race with much reduced red apical spot on the forewing of the $$. — lombokiana Btlr. 
(70 c and d) is distinguished from javanensis by larger black circumscription to the red spots of the fore¬ 
wing, in the place of which there is a light yellow tinge. In Lombok I found both sexes at elevations 
up to 4000 ft. on the plateau of Sambalun. There the butterflies sailed along in the most brilliant 
sunshine and hung for minutes at a time on the most various flowers, seldom, however, settling on low 
plants, but this beautiful butterfly occurred also even near the seashore. — timorensis Wall., from Timor 
and Alor, and flavomarginata Pagenst., from Sumba, are distinguished by the complete absence of a black 
submarginal band on the forewing, also the black wedge-spots are reduced. — anaxandra subsp. nov. has 
also no black bordering to the red ornamental spot, but very large submarginal wedge-spots on the fore¬ 
wing, and the red spot projects especially deeply into the cell of the forewing. Island of Kalao. — 
celebensis Wall. (70 d), by far the largest glaucippe- race, the UU of which surpass in expanse both liukiu- 
ensis and leucippe Cr. It is at the same time the only local race with polychromatic They are 
as follows: $-f. icteria Fruhst. 1 ) South Celebes, November, taken at the end of the dry season. Wings 
bluish white, apical spot pale sulphur-yellow. Hindwing narrowly margined with grey-brown. Under sur¬ 
face grey-white and with a yellowish subapical area on the forewing. Length of wing 50 mm. §-f. 
principalis Fruhst. North Celebes, November—December 1895. Both wings broadly margined with brown- 
black. Cell of the forewing slightly tinged with violet-brown. Apical spot white with orange streaks or 
red-orange as in Indian Underside of both wings dusted with dark brown in the apical part. Length 
of the forewing 54 mm. $-f. sublustris Fruhst. Toli-Toli. Under surface and central part of the forewing 
like $-f. principalis. Cell covered with yellowish brown and grey. Hindwing blue-white with slight orange 
sheen at the costal margin. Apical spot white with red or yellow streaks. The latter form is before me 
both from North Celebes and from Sangi on Taruna (Talaut Islands), <$$ up to 111 mm expanse in the 
rainy form, $ of the dry form 95 mm. of celebensis enliven flowers or rest on moist sand to drink, 
whilst the $$ remain hidden in the low brushwood. When I beat the bushes at the coast of Toli-Toli 
with the net-handle in the morning, especially on rainy days, came tumbling out sliily from their 
hiding-places and could then easily be caught without exertion. North and South Celebes, Dongala, 
August—September. Dry form: Taruna, Talaut Islands. — sulaensis Fruhst. with broader black distal 
margin on the forewing, $ with smaller submarginal spots on the hindwing. Sula Mangoli. — philippensis 
Wall, is a collective name for various island races, the differentiation of which has not yet been worked 
out. The divergence of the several forms from typical glaucippe is correlated to the geographical position. 
North-West Luzon, West Mindoro, Babuyanes produce a glaucippoid race (erinna subsp. nov.), which occurs 
in a broadly black-margined rainy form (approaching bomeensis) and a yellowish-tinged dry form (approach¬ 
ing javanensis). Mindanao and its satellite islands produce typical philippensis. Specimens from 
Domoran, Bohol, Camotes and Mindanao form the transition to sulphurea Wall, from Batjan, whilst those 
from North-West Luzon, Mindoro and Babuyanes are closely allied to continental glaucippe, especially 
Chinese. Other $$ again have the proximal black bordering of the orange apical spot almost as broad as 
in bomeensis Wall., facts which do not come as a surprise when we remember that the Philippines have 
been in close connection and interchange of species both with the continent and with Borneo and the 
Moluccas through the bridges of land that intervene. — reducta Fruhst. is a race from Polillo, in which 
the ornamental spot of the forewing is reduced by almost half the extent which we find on other Phi¬ 
lippine forms. — palawensis Fruhst. the orange-coloured apical spot extends further into the cell of 
the forewing and is proximally almost without any black bordering. The submarginal spots smaller and more 
delicate than in philippensis. $: distal dentate band of the hindwing very narrow, deeply incised, becoming 
obsolete anally, the black submarginal spots placed before it more indistinct than in philippensis Wall.; orange 
spot of the forewing proximally without a trace of black bordering. Palawan, January. — cuyonieola Fruhst. 
The specimens from the small island of Cuyo differ most, as the under surface in the is not sprinkled with 
grey on a white ground, but quite as yellowish as in vossi from Nias, except that the proximal half is not so
